Today, Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) voted to move forward on repeal (or repeal and replacement, who knows – the President doesn’t really care) of the Affordable Care Act. I intend to hold Sen. Johnson responsible for his dangerous vote to impact the healthcare of everyone I know. Read my open letter to him.

The GOP has passed its long-promised repeal of the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) in the American Health Care Act of 2017 (aka TrumpCare). Friday’s narrow 217-213 vote tally was only in the House of Representatives, but keg stands and saber-rattling clouded that fact. The TrumpCare deal is far from complete. Does it really just say your healthcare is not the government’s concern?

Doctors’ groups and nurses’ associations have joined hospitals, stakeholders, and lobbying organizations against the Republican repeal and replacement plan for Obamacare. Many GOP members of Congress are themselves opposing the bill. See the remarkable list of those rejecting the American Health Care Act.

First, the GOP promised “repeal” of Obamacare. That evolved into “repeal and replace”. Several proposed bills were presented by Republicans these last months. Now Congress and the Trump Administration present the American Health Care Act. Learn the differences between it and the Affordable Care Act.
